Tuesday Pebble Report

by Russ Oates on Aug 5, 2008 7:17 AM MDT in Pebble Report

The Springs, W 8-3: Franklin Morales allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and struck out five. Kenny Perez drove in three runs, and Mike McCoy and Dog Bernier two. Matt Miller and Chris Frey had three hits.

Tulsa, L 5-6 in 13 innings: Daniel Carte hit his 10th homer in the fourth and drove in one of the three runs scored in the eighth inning. Eduardo Cornejo and Tony Blanco drove in the other runs that inning. Unfortunately, Darren Clarke couldn't hold the 4-1 lead Brandon Hynick left him. Hynick allowed one run on three hits in seven innings. Clarke allowed three runs in the bottom of the eighth. Neils Wilson hit a homer in the top of the 13th, only to see Ryan Mattheus allow the game-winning two-run double.

Modesto: The Cal League had the night off.

Asheville, L 1-2: Mike Mitchell's three singles were part of a five-hit night by the Tourists. He also swiped his 45th base. Connor Graham went seven innings, allowed two runs on four hits and three walks, and struck out three.

Tri-City, L 9-13: Kenny Durst went four innings and gave up five runs, and that was one of the better Tri-City pitching performances last night. J.R. Murphy allowed four runs in 1 2/3 innings and Tyler Trice saw three runs score on five hits in an inning. Carlos Luna struck out four and allowed a run in 2 1/3 innings.

Leonardo Reyes drove in three runs (two on a triple) while Scott Robinson (one RBI) and Ryan Peisel (two RBI) each had three hits. Austin Rauch also drove in a run and scored three times.

Casper, L 2-5: Orem's Roberto Lopez drove in all five runs for his team (four on a grand slam), and Wilin Rosario drove in both runs for Casper. Casper hitters struck out 11 times. Matt Baugh was charged with all those runs in 4 1/3 innings. Brandon Dill struck out three in 2 2/3 innings. Brandon Walker and Kurt Yacko followed with a scoreless inning each.

Morales' outing cut

short last night. I was looking at the numbers from last night and I’m not sure why he was pulled so early. He had only thrown 89 pitches, just 1 man on first and 1 out. Its not like he was in major trouble and the Sox were up 8-2. Was it due to the number of pitches he had thrown in his other recent outings?

I didn't notice that

but it is nice to hear “The Springs.” You do sound like you live here Russ. Nothing better than living here in the Springs.

I believe

every Pebble Report I did in 2007 had “The Springs” in it. Just started it up again.

Mistakes on the organizational Depth Chart

just to point out some mistakes on the new depth chart. Usually you do a great job. Just a little misinformed here I think. Jeff Cunningham will still be a starter in Ashville. Bo Bowman will NOT play 1B over Jeff as soon as Jeff comes off the DL. Also, Leonardo Reyes has and will start more games than James Sims will in Tri Cities. In Casper, Jimmy Cesario does not start at 2nd base for the Ghosts. In fact, he does not even play 2nd base. He has started the majority of his games at 3B or DH and has even started a game at Left Field. 2B is still Murry and then Fineberg and Cesario actually split time at 3B. Cecario can definately hit though. I also saw you had Shane Lowe starting in RF. In all actuality, Massey, Clearly and Sandavol have played the majority of the games in the OF since all 3 have been aboard. . Lowe does get an occassional start but he has started less than those 3 and Mesa too.

he does a great job

i was just trying to help him out. lol. Now, i can help you or roxgirl too, on the left of the page under minor league links——you guys have advanced rookie for tri cities and their league is actually short season A. You also have newbies by Casper which they are BUT…their league is officially called advanced rookie :)

Organizational Depth Chart

No question Malakian does a great job. There are some interesting questions I wonder about. Samuel Deduno went on the DL from Tulsa. He had Tommy John surgery so he is out for the year….............but he is listed as an active player with Casper…............how come? Also, Shane Lindsey is listed as on the DL with Modesto, but he started a few days ago for Asheville; does he count on the Asheville roster or is he a “Rehab” player and not technically a roster player? Tonight the Asheville announcers said Brian Aguilar went on the DL with a sprained ankle. Lastly, do we know what is wrong with the new draft picks in Tri-Cities who are still listed on the DL? Why can’t they play? Dodson was pitching in the college world series but isn’t cleared to pitch for the Dust Devils. Oh, one last lastly. The Rockies released last year draft pick Mitchell Lively in Extended Spring Training after he had started out nicely in Casper last year. He wound up being signed by the Giants and since being released in Extended this year has already been advanced to Augusta in the SAL and has 2 scoreless appearances. Bears watching.

Tri-City DL

I have no idea what’s going on with Dodson. He was immediately placed on the DL on July 19th right after being assigned to Tri-City. As for the other ‘08 draft pick on the DL, I think Aaron Weatherford is out with elbow soreness issues.

I’m not sure why Deduno was assigned to Casper’s roster.
